The Leeds Civic Association and the Bay State Village Association are co-sponsoring a public forum Tuesday Jan 8, at 7PM at the Little Theater at NHS to review proposed zoning changes. The Planning Board has recommended significant reductions in frontage and lot size requirements which will allow additional housing in most neighborhoods in the city.<\/p>\n
Senior planner Carolyn Misch will illustrate these changes using existing lots and buildings in Bay State Village and will answer questions and record comments. While examples to illustrate the changes will come primarily from Bay State Village the proposed changes will impact all neighborhoods,\u00a0 and everyone is welcome to attend the forum. For more detailed information please visit the city\u2019s website: www.northamptonma.gov\/opd. Under \u201cHOT TOPICS\u201d click on \u201cProposed Residential District Changes. Look particularly at \u201cExcerpts from The ZRC \u201c (Zoning Revisions Committee) and the dimensional changes to the URB (Urban Residential B). Almost all of Bay State is zoned URB.
